For those of you who remember, my brother's criminal case was settled today. He pled to misdemeanor battery, hated to do it as he is innocent but saved him from being tagged as a sex offender or doing any more time. Unfortunately, the public defender told him he really should leave town because it would be too easy for these whack-jobs who accused him to sabotage him during his year's probation (example - plant drugs at his house then call the cops). Brother is relieved not to be facing jail time but infuriated at having to leave his neighborhood and being convicted when he is innocent. It's a good outcome, but not justice.
